Can any of you guys just look at this thing from OpenWRT:
http://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt.git;a=blob;f=target/linux/gemini/patches-3.18/160-gemini-timers.patch;h=4b0edb45d162f751bfb7475f5b3158f28d69fe84;hb=HEAD

As usual they are just keeping it out of mainline, and this
is adding sched_clock() and other goodies so should
probably be upstreamed ASAP.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
